If you’re a parent or educator who is looking to improve your abilities so you can help children under your care, it’s not just the skills that are important. Knowing how children develop is important, and essential, to knowing how best to help them.
Children develop very quickly from one stage to the next, and they may do this at a slightly different pace from their peers. So it’s not always easy to determine what is normal behaviour in children, or something to take notice of. There are also milestones to watch out for, such as what stage should a child be able to vocalise different words, names, form sentences, and express themselves.
Even in terms of behaviour, it’s not easy to spot what is normal and what isn’t. For example, some of the most obvious and noted signs of behavioural issues are:
- Inattentiveness
- Unwillingness or inability to follow instructions
- Throws tantrums in public
- Aggression
Sometimes, the way the child acts is just a phase they go through as part of their development. Misbehaving students and children are so often mistakenly assessed to have special needs due to the confusion over what is and isn’t normal behaviour.
To be able to give children the best possible outcome for their development and education, it’s necessary to understand at what stage of development they are at, and what are signs you need to look out for in order to diagnose address them properly.
